How to Get Pinsir Fast

Catch in Wild Zone 13 and 20 in Z-A

The best way to get a Pinsir is by catching one in Legends Z-A, specifically Wild Zone 13. You can also catch one in Wild Zone 20 as well, but it will only spawn as an Alpha in the middle.

Found at the Isle of Armor in Sword

Alternatively, if you have the DLC for Sword, you can also find Pinsirs in the Isle of Armor. Unforunately, this is a version exclusive, meaning you can't get it in Shield if that's the version that you've purchased.
